This narrative review aims to provide an update on caries risk assessment (CRA) and the available CRA tools. CRA can be used to monitor the status of oral care, as well as for documentation and research purposes. Caries risk is determined by the interplay of risk and protective factors. Common risk factors include suboptimal oral hygiene practices,...

The activity of dental caries, combined with its multifactorial etiology, alters salivary molecule composition. The present systematic review was developed to answer the following question: “Are salivary biomarkers reliable for diagnosis of dental caries?”. Following the “Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis” (PRISMA) g...

Despite being almost entirely preventable, globally, dental caries is extremely prevalent. Moreover, dental caries will continue to present an even larger challenge for lower income countries, particularly those in the African context, as they transition to a more Western diet. Hence, epidemiological data providing insight into disease patterns and...

This dissertation presents a comprehensive investigation into the application of Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for the enhanced detection and assessment of dental caries. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as radiographs, are limited by their inability to detect and diagnose early-stage, less severe car...

This concise review provides an update of the use of dental sealants. Dental sealants protect a tooth from caries development by providing a physical barrier to microorganism colonisation and creating a favorable environment for patients to clean. Some sealants release fluoride ions to promote remineralization. Dental sealants can be applied on pit...
